We have no aVersion to the marmon of anrighteousness, we never draw long faces at the sight of the lucre, there is not an honest dollar that comes our way that does not have -,a most enthusiastic welcome. You will notice that the dollar must be honest, as well as the way of inducing the dollar our way. Now w0 are out for a reasonable pro, fit, to put the matter in another way, -and we have no bogus story about selling goods at ,or -below the cost of the same, in fact we never want to have either for that matter. You will find us, hoWever, year in and year out, steady, reliable, civil, ready and willing at all times to do all that is in our power to serve your interests. There are people Who affirm by our ways of doing business, and there are others who do the op- posite.

On th liege side are the Queen's private apar menta, opposite that a stone wall and bee of it the Tower. On the north side are th state apertmente, and I don't know what opposite, but presume they are also apar melds. As I said, we did not go throug the large quadrangle nor in by the mai entranoe to the state apartments, bu through a smaller court, leading from th road I spoke of, to a aide entrance.

We had to wait awhile before get in into the apartments, as the official eaid th rooms wore full.

We also saw black flag which Kitchener seized from Khalifa This was in the guard chambe moat interesting place. There was ale wooden horse covered with the richest Indian trappings, which, with a real 'ho under them, was one of the Jubilee p es cuts. Then there wee a war drum which had been taken from some savage tribe nd it was a queer looking thing, something l'k a hollow log, only broader at the baee t atrhe top, and about ten feet in len From the size of the dram sticks one wo imagine quite a din could be made -with There was also some very old armour weapons of war.• I was nearly forgett about some rare china we sew in a (Min indeed there were two or three cabin That was about the only thing for whie felt I could really have any use, and I wo not have minded'a plate or two and haps a cup and saucer to match.

I told you about the v from the stone steps. Well, we got it on the terrace, but more of it, for we co see the country beyond Eton and Wind The great perk is below the terrace, an aid to be very fine, but we had not time go in it. You get a finer view from the e terrace, which fronts the Queen's pelt, apartmene-s, but it is only open on rare cessions.

There were about a dozen others, all sea d- ing waiting, and as visitors came, &et 'no and then another would step up to the One man seemed rather amused over is crowd. They were evidently from some r- phe.n school, girls of about ten and twel •e, and all dressed alike-, in blue print dres es and dark straw hats.

T e greys that draw the Queen'a carriage w re in one stable; then there were such pret y black and bay horses, both for the carria e and riding. - 'We saw the ponies and t e donkeys, too, and not the least of these w s the Egyptian donkey that Kitchener sent. o Her Majesty.

We thought Windsor was quaint and old, but Eton is more so, and I wish I could tell you about the old places in such a way that you could at least imagine how they look. The tiniest little low roofed shops and houses, juke., l'ke you see in pictures, seemed never to have been changed since they were built, and th re were so many narrow lanes and wider eo reel, and about the latter were pretty little ttages with diamond paned windows and sometimes the daintiest white muslin °urea a across them. It was after lecture time, so the little narrow street seemed full o Eton boys with their short jackets, broa white collar. and top hats. They looked just like they do in the Boy's Own Paper. The older boys, when too big for the jack t, wear a black, tailed coat, standup collar and white' tie, but always the top hat. After we p seed the shops we came to the residential pa t of the town and the college. We had only ime to go into the quadrangle and look at t e great old buildings and the chapel. The latter is very fine, but we did not go insid . Here, as elsewhere, there was the pret y ivy and creeper on the walls. We met a number of lads going to play football, not n top hats, but peak caps, 'knickerbocker and jerseys. They looked as if they ha a pretty good time, and we afterwards ea a great crowd of them play- ing on the reen opposite the buildings. We walked al ng the river bank for a little way just bef re sundown, saw some men fishing and wo or three pleasure boats passing up a d down. We came to the conclusion th n that we could stay quite Comfortably i. Windsor for a week, but we hadn't a eek to stay, only a day, so had to get bac to the station for our train.
